WLMail log in and .NET Passport

[Smirnoff]

XP Pro, SP3, IE8, WLM Build 14.0.8064.0206

This is a further attempt to resolve problems that may or may not be
connected.

1. Windows Live Mail will not log me in automatically. It still asks for
my password on start up even though the "remember password" box is
ticked. Once logged on, I can exit and re-open without problem - until
the next re-boot.

2. I attempt to set up a .NET Passport for my user name (admin
privileges) and am told that it is accepted - until the next re-boot.
This is after I have tried Kelly's tweak at:

Line 223, right-hand column, Enable storage of .NET Passwords.

As stated, I don't know if the problems are related or not. It may be
that I have missed some obvious setting.

All other passwords/logins that I have set to remember, ARE remembered.

Could it be an IE8 problem? In add ons, I can see Windows Live Sign-In
Helper (enabled) but not Windows Live Sign-In ASSISTANT, which is the
program that is supposed to be downloaded with WLMessenger.

In IE, you can clear passwords (TOOLS menu | INTERNET OPTIONS | GENERAL tab
& click the DELETE button under BROWSING HISTORY | DELETE PASSWORDS button)
then try again but it would delete all other remembered passwords

The passwords are in cookies usually, registry & in protected storage

This is not a XP problem I feel but a IE one. Therefore, I recommend you
asking your question in:

Thanks, I crossposted to XP by mistake. Meant to send to IE. I'll do
that now and wait for the insults!
